Ba Xian, also known as Eight Immortals, is the tea bush's varietal for this heavenly Oolong. Wu Yi Mountain Oolong is also known as "Rock tea" and has a long-standing history of producing famous tea. This fairy tale landscape is home to four renowned bushes that still survive today, with one varietal of tea bush (Da Hong Pao) said to be around three hundred and fifty years old. Even though some areas have a lower elevation, the terrior- (ideal temperature 18 degree Celsius, mineral-rich soil, and climate)- gives Wu Yi Oolong remarkable flavour profiles that make them unforgettable.

Water temperature is vital to achieving best flavour from your tea! Darker Oolong, handsome and strong, can withstand a hotter temperature. Watch how gentle and sweet it can be!
